Eurychasmadicksonii (E.P. Wright) Magnus CCAP 4018/1 Isolator: Müller (2005) Origin:
Marine;
intertidal, Le Caro, Rade de Brest, Brittany, France, Culture: Medium
(1)half strength Provasoli; Bacteria present; sub; 9-15 deg C; lighting 2-10 µE.m-2.s-1 (higher intensities seem to inhibit propagation of Eurychasma);(2)half strength Provasoli; Axenic; sub; 9-15 deg C; lighting 2-10 µE.m-2.s-1 (higher intensities seem to inhibit propagation of Eurychasma) Other: Orig. desig. Eurychasma 2005 Caro;
this is an unialgal host culture - Eurychasma (an oomycete parasite of brown algae) is an obligate biotroph, i.e. it cannot grow outside its host. The host in which this strain is deposited is Ectocarpus sp. CCAP 1310/299, i.e. the original host.; syn. Rhizophydium dicksonii;
